Esports Integrity Commissioner Ian Smith said, “It is always wonderful to welcome new members into the Coalition. This gives us the resources and reach with new technologies and new betting operators to improve our efforts to detect cheating and betting fraud and keep esports safer against the threat of cheating, match manipulation, betting fraud and doping.

Reinhard Blaukovitsch, Managing Director of Denuvo, Irdeto said, “Esports is a rapidly growing sector and with increasing interest and large prizes on offer in esports events, cheating can have huge ramifications on both players and the industry. Our membership of ESIC is a symbol of our commitment to protecting legitimate players from the negative impact of cheating in esports and this is a natural extension of our focus on securing online multiplayer games against cheating. We believe our experience will be valuable in this shared mission.”
